Thank you so much! Stay safe and have a great time ! :-)

Ironing pages! That's a great idea! I have a few books with dented pages. Great clip. More news and rumours would also be great!

@@MikeRollerson I tried it this morning on a heavy book which had been dropped (by the delivery person) onto a corner leading to all the pages in that corner being "bent" wven when the book is closed. Had the heat on around 80% of the dial, used that brown baking paper, pressed hard, and first time it worked well though the paper was a bit "bent" (what's the word for his) around the iron - I think it was too hot. Tried it around 30-50% heat, pressed hard and it works VERY well. The pages are back to new, and I used it on the crumpled hardcover edges to smooth them out. Recommended, though start with a lower heat.

Very interesting guys. Thanks. Please don't forget your Top10!

Thank you buddy :-)

Thank you for all of the detailed answers, this is great to hear! Most of my books are very oversized but standing up (with a few exceptions). Going to look into getting felt or microfiber cloths to put under the pages to hopefully take some pressure off of the spine/binding. Thank you again for all of the helpful answers!

Thank you James, always good to hear from you. Take good care and stay safe ))

Some suggestions for your next Book Cast: 1. Show some picture of your shelves. I'd like to see what you described in this particular video. 2. A discussion on how the pandemic lockdown has affected coffee table book sales. I assume people are buying more coffee table books because they've been stuck inside. 3. I don't know if you've already discussed this: For serious book collectors, do you recommend buying two copies of a book (one for reading, another for keeping in shrink wrap)?
